    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    Based on Branjo's positive experience, I decided to give PIA a shot. My take so far, in the areas I am seeking VPN/DNS services for, is as follows: 1) PIA VPN CLIENT APP ON WINDOWS: >>WORKING GREAT love it seems like a solid implementation, with their own clean and intuitive app. VPN server...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    Getting closer. Found a ca.crt file. I think I need to add the content under Content modification of Keys & Certificates. Unsure if I enter it under Certificate Authority or Client Certificate or both. PIA online chat could not help ; I will send in a ticket. Its a bit exhausting trying to...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    I just checked the System log and fist line says Aug 16 19:27:49 openvpn[2233]: Options error: You must define CA file (--ca) or CA path (--capath) Aug 16 19:27:49 openvpn[2233]: Use --help for more information. Aug 16 19:27:49 syslog: VPN_LOG_ERROR: 433: Starting OpenVPN failed... I just...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    What would be preventing me from turning Client 1 on? I have imported an ovpn file, set my username and password, and saved the settings. When I slide the Service State from OFF to ON, its show ON for a split second, says is applying settings, then Complete! and takes me page to the OpenVPN...

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    With only one device of concern, why not just run the OpenVPN client on that machine...and forget about any rules in the router.

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    Hmm, when I chatted with them that they said they had no DNS services to provide, but perhaps the question was asked incorrectly and/or misunderstood. I resent two questions to them just now, perhaps you/others already know the answers: Suppose I want to have OpenVPN setup as a client on my...

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    That VPN accelerator sounds interesting, but I dont really want to give up Merlin. But more important - if there is a firmware flash based solution that gets VPN performance accelerated to 95%, why can't a future version of Merlin achieve it???

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    Some related questions: OPENVPN CLIENT ON THE ROUTER: 1) has anyone played with different types of compression ; is there a preferred setting in terms better performance? 2) is it possible, somehow, to offload some VPN router functions to dedicated a home machine, in the quest to improve VPN...

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    I like PIA as well. They were on my short list. Very responsive to a request I made for them to whitelist my email service during my trial with them. I did not end up staying though because of (1) they were not offering a bundled DNS service that I was also after for unblocking US contect from...

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    Everything I have been reading on the subject suggests significant performance hits are a given and as such ,its a bit discouraging/hopeless at this stage to try and workaround it, given observation like : OpenVPN client software seems like from last century - it only can utilize one core, so...

    Indeed, but it only day one at this. Hope to improve it, a bit, with a lot of trouble shooting.

    Turning radios off in AC68U firmware

    Yup, its perfect. Off at the switch mirrors the disabling on the firmware and vice versa. Ideal.

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    Here is a quick snapshot on my speed... pretty poor on the router. I am currently the only one on my home network so the router is not working hard on anything else. If this is typical of what I can expect, may need to forget this option and install the Windows clients on the individual...

    Forgive my ignorance but are you referring to generic testing you are doing or an actual benchmark tool?

    OpenVPN as VPN Client - AC68U

    My original post was to first ensure it had the capability before I bought it:) . Yes, now have it setup, and its as you described - working great except for the anticipated speed issue ( being discussed here : http://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-speed-issue.26458/#post-198037 Related...

    Turning radios off in AC68U firmware

    No problem. Hard to catch every word when scouring forums :) Let me ask this. The reason I asked, is that I rarely need Wi-Fi in the room the router is in and I have access points for the rest of the house. So I'd like to keep the wifi off, and let the unit run cooler etc. But, I can foresee...

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    I will be watching this thread with great interest. Just started dabbling into this, first with OpenVPN as a windows client, and now on the tourer (AC68U)/ My VPN speed is awful on the first try so I have lots of work to do re settings and selection of servers. Without VPN, my service is 80...

    Editing DCHP static IP entries

    No issue adding or deleting static ip info under Advanced/Lan/DCHP server, but how do you edit an entry , eg to fix an incorrect MAC address or a typo in a name? Not a big deal at all, as I can simply delete the entire entry and start over....but curious if there is a trick I'm not aware off.
